Zoho played a crucial supporting role in the development of India’s first Made-in-India MRI scanner by backing the medtech startup VoxelGrids. This support enabled the startup to design and manufacture a 1.5-tesla MRI machine entirely within the country, significantly reducing reliance on imported diagnostic equipment. The indigenous MRI is around 40% cheaper than foreign alternatives and does not require liquid helium, making it more cost-effective and sustainable. Zoho’s backing aligns with the goals of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, strengthening domestic innovation, improving affordable healthcare access, and boosting India’s medical technology ecosystem.
